Age-Friendly Health Systems learning community launches this fall

As part of the Age-Friendly Health Systems initiative, the American Hospital Association (AHA) will convene an action community this September to assist hospitals and ambulatory care settings in sharing lessons learned while implementing age-friendly policies. Members of the virtual community will test the initiative’s “4Ms” Framework, which aligns care and medications with what matters most to older adults, paying special attention to their mobility and state of mind. The goals and benefits of joining the community are outlined in a two-page flyer. Interested participants may email questions about the 7-month learning collaborative or register to join on the AHA website. Age-Friendly Health Systems is an initiative of The John A. Hartford Foundation and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement in partnership with the AHA and the Catholic Health Association of the United States.
